Ab7
Once I had myself a good woman
But I just didn't treat her right
C#7
I was always leaving
Ab7
Livin' a party life
True love was waiting for me
I was much too blind to see
C#7
Till she told me she would leave me
Ab7
I said that's all right with me
Eb7
Oh now she's gone
C#7
Realize I lost the best thing there is
Ab7 Eb7
And my pride keeps telling me
Let your loss be your lesson

Ab7
Heaven knows I miss her lovin'
Heaven knows how much I cry
C#7
Just to think she had left me
Ab7
And I know the reason why
I could tell she had been cryin'
It didn't seem to bother me
C#7
Cause I know there's no one blinder
Ab7
Than a fool who just couldn't see
Eb7
Now she's gone
C#7
I realize I lost the best thing there is
Ab7 Eb7
And my pride keeps tellin' me
Let your loss be your lesson
